imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.in daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. if, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. if you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.in the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. those stars look great on screen. but when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. if you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply.they touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation.the world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them.creative people have an endless resource of ideas.the problem a creator faces is not running out of material；it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you.then you can say, “i stand on the shoulders of my ancestors tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.”20imitation proves useful when you_.aknow you are uniqueblose the balance of lifecbegin to learn something newdget tired of routine practice21. to avoid the ba
